Every teenage girl who has picked up a guitar since Jett's first band the Runaways hit the scene back in '75 owes her a huge debt of gratitude. While bandmate Lita Ford had the chops and Sue Thomas (who never recorded with them) found greater commercial success as Michael Steele with The Bangles, it was Joan Jett who embodied the punk attitude that would inform the "riot grrrl" movement twenty years later.

Unfortunately, the Runaways did not achieve the commercial success that their imitators enjoyed. Jett would later find that success in the MTV era, leading The Blackhearts. This compilation documents both her artistic and commercial triumphs. She topped the charts in '82 with "I Love Rock N Roll" and had several other top twenty hits including "Do You Wanna Touch Me? (Oh Yeah!)" and starred opposite Michael J. Fox in the film "Light Of Day." 15 years before Sleater-Kinney, she raised eyebrows by recording the Tommy James hit "Crimson And Clover" without changing the gender to reflect a (heterosexual) woman's point of view. FIT TO BE TIED makes certain that Jett will always be remembered for the ground she broke.
